The Dominican Republic's 25 Centavos Oro note of 1961 was issued during the final year of Rafael Trujillo's thirty-one-year dictatorship — he was assassinated in May of that year. Currency produced under his regime bore the weight of a state apparatus that treated the central bank as a personal instrument; the Banco Central had only been formally established in 1947, replacing monetary arrangements that Trujillo himself had restructured to consolidate control over Dominican finances.
ABNC's involvement with Dominican issues ran across multiple decades and denominations. The "Oro" designation distinguishes this from peso-denominated paper, a holdover from the currency's formal peg to the U.S. dollar at par, which held through this period.
